Synopsis

Gang violence and brazen shootings have made Dublin's streets a battleground this last decade. When Polish-born Tadeusz Klos is murdered, Minogue is suddenly in demand, both for his background in that Murder Squad and for his current work in the Garda International Liaison office. With little to go on, Minogue first forms a picture of a chance event, with bad timing, a swarm of drunken youths and racism. And Tadeusz Klos was no angel: this wayward and restless only child was involved in petty crime back in Poland. Ready or not, Minogue is about to drop down a crevasse into Dublin's underworld. There, not far from the busy world-class shopping and the crowded nightclubs, the glass clad offices tower and the massive rock concerts, is where drug lords and their hired killers rule.

About this title

About the Author

A native of Dublin, John divides his time between Ireland and Canada, where he and his wife Hanna raise their family. Growing up in Ireland, with a mother from the west of Ireland and a father from Dublin, home was where talk and imagination and character were at to the core of life. Everyone had a story, a song, a joke. John continues to follow the lure of travel. rambling in Ireland’s Burren or Dublin's streets, or hill-walking in southern Austria. Trained as a teacher, he still goes by the axiom that only that which is useless, or can’t be taught, is irresistible.
